    Burger
    Ashley C.

    Stopped by here after a hike and maybe I should have got something else because the burger was absolutely disappointing! Nothing special about it was very basic and the drink was nearly doable for me. These service was great and it was a nice place but I would suggest going for anything else but a burger .

    Seafood dip
    William C.

    We were cold and ready for lunch after walking to Bar Island and back. We looked at a few places and there wasn't anyone eating there. This place was pretty busy, so we went in. We were seated promptly and a waitress took our order. We ordered two smoked seafood chowders and the seafood dip. Both were outstanding. It is one of the best chowders I have had. The chowder had big chunks of seafood and a very light smokey flavor. It was a large portion. The dip came with triangles of what is similar to a naan bread or pita, but different in a good way. It was tasty as well. I would recommend either of these dishes. Had I known how large the chowder was, I wouldn't have ordered the dip. We ate this as a late lunch at 3:00 and skipped dinner.

    Located just on the corner of Main St. and West St., Paddy's is a perfect spot for patio or inside. We opted for outdoor seating and were not disappointed. A beautiful view of the harbor at sunset, can you really go wrong? There was even a group of gentlemen that came out to play some live 40's style music! We were seated quickly for an early afternoon meal. Service was prompt and our server was very attentive. Noise level was an acceptable amount given the time of day and how busy they were. We started with one of the freshly-made pretzels which was amazing! After nearly devouring it, I remembered to take a pic. Not so much for the main course. I forgot. I was starving. But amazing. Our meals consisted of the corned beef and cabbage, Irish Hills steak frites, fish & chips and haddock sandwich. Let me start by saying, the corned beef was the most tender, moist corned beef I have ever had...and I want mine to be as good! I cannot begin to explain the dish without giving credit to the portion size. Followed by the best corned beef and veg I have ever had. The fish and chips were a hit and definitely a full portion size. The haddock sandwich was cooked perfectly and definitely raised the bar! My steak was amazing and cooked perfectly. If I can ever come back to Bar Harbor, this will most definitely be on my list of places to come back to! Nice job, staff! You all rock!

    Crab & Lobster Dip
    Alyssa A.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite while exploring Bar Harbor. I'd imagine this place can get quite busy, but we were able to walk right in and get a table. They have a pretty decent menu with a wide selection. The Crab & Lobster dish was DELICIOUS. Warm, cheesy fondue that was packed with fresh lobster and crab - I was pleasantly surprised by how much they put in, especially for only $16. Hands down, the best appetizer, and perfect to share at the table. Great drink selection with quite a few blueberry options as well. We grabbed both the Blueberry Mojito and the Wild Blueberry Martini. Both were great, but the Wild Blueberry Martini was our winner - more unique and just checked all the boxes. Service was great, and our server was kind and attentive. Biggest complaint was that their water glasses were not properly washed. Right off the bat when we sat down at the table, the glass at my seat had a big chunk of food still stuck on the inside. Got a fresh, new glass and had no issues afterward. Wouldn't be my first stop for food in the area, but a good choice - especially if you're with a group of people.

    Bubbles and Squeak... real corned beef dinner with a poached egg on it... superb! Good for dogs outside and service was great. Perfect people watching outside... would recommend highly!

    This place is located right on the corner at the boat dock and has indoor and outdoor seating. I think breakfast stops at 11:30 because then a sign pops up that the kitchen opens at noon for lunch.Our whale watching trip was canceled due to weather so we didn't have much to do and they offered us 10% off here so we gave it a try. First, our server was super friendly and efficient. Quickly brought my iced tea while we looked at the menu. The menu had a great variety of choices. My husband and I like to split lunch so we don't eat too much. We settled on the onion soup, and the chicken club with fries. The soup was fabulous! It was hot, which I love and full of flavor. The crunchy onions on top were a great addition. The sandwich was served on fresh bread and the chicken, avocado, bacon, lettuce and especially the tomato jelly were a great flavor. Even the fries were good. It was a great stop and I would highly recommend it

    We've been to Paddy's two days in a row now, one day just for drinks and another night just for dinner. The day we went for drinks, we were sat outside on the patio without even asking. Fast forward to a few minutes ago, we went back for drinks and asked to sit on the patio again. The hostess proceeded to tell us that the patio was only for guests who were eating dinner. Mind you, it's 1:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. What a horrible way to treat customers that you've now seen three days in a row. Thanks for making us feel like s**t. Wish I could take my money back from the other two nights. Maybe hire hostesses who don't turn down customers when there are plenty of open tables. Customer service is simple, do better. Pic attached from last night when we got dinner.

    Housemade pretzel and blueberry ale

    Based on the reviews at only 3.8, we were a little leery about going but we just wanted something close to the water and somewhere we could sit inside. The overall experience was much better than we expected. I had a local blueberry ale, that was great and a bowl of lobster bisque; while it wasn't the best bisque I've ever had, it was good and hit the spot. My wife had the farmers salad and said it was fantastic, we also shared one of the house made pretzels, which was exceptional, both the Guinness mustard and the beer cheese sauce were great with it! We would definitely go back. Our waiter was extremely attentive and the overall service was good. It's a great Irish pub close to the water and something worth trying out.

    sirloin, asparagus, fried sweet potato

    Sirloin, asparagus, fried sweet potato Food tasty. Location at conner of Main Street, many customers, good biz.

    Christophe D.

    Excellent restaurants with diversified menu. She took nachos, I took fish and ships. Both were good, so were fries. I would recommend it as a place to eat casual food. Do not order the Irish coffee, it is made with bad coffee which ruins the experience.

    Lompoc is one of the most vegetarian friendly dinner spots in Bar Harbor…read more They don't take reservations and offer three seating arrangements: the patio, the bar, and a small inside area with four or so tables. I would have liked to sit outside on their cute patio, but it was full and the hostess said it would be a long wait, so we decided to eat inside. At first she directed us to a table in the bar but realized it was very loud (music and patrons) so offered to seat us in the other inside section. We had a view of a bocce match and the patio--definitely better than the bar, but not as nice as the patio. They were playing classic rock and the people at the table next to us asked to turn it down, and they were accommodated, which made for a nicer experience for us as well. The falafel wrap and Banh Mi (v) were very good and the chips can be substituted for a house salad or fries, which we did. The dressing was light and I enjoyed it. The highlight of the experience at Lompoc was dessert. Although there was nothing vegan on the dessert menu, our server suggested an "off the menu" rhubarb raspberry sorbet, which was excellent! And doesn't it enhance the experience when you feel like they're letting you in on something special?! I'd definitely return and try to get there early (4:30) to be able to sit outside.

The staff is always exceptionally kind and forthcoming with their opinions on the food which makes it known they genuinely enjoy it too. The last time I was here I got the bang bang chicken and was able to even get the spicy sauce in the side so I could control my spice level. The true winner for the night was a chocolate carrot cake from a local bakery in town. It was decadent yet well balanced and a hefty portion that I would have regretted if I finished entirely. This place has a unique vibe compared to all the other spots in Bar Harbor and has something for everyone. Do not miss this place when in town.

The menu comes on a blue card with specials posted outside, lobster roll price included, which is a small kindness when half the island hides behind "market rate." My partner and uncle went straight for the fried shrimp basket special: generous, delicious, and not a shrimp wasted. My fish and chips were more fish stick than dockside catch, but the chips were crunchy and delicious. My partner and I had no complaints on the salt front, but apparently my aunt had enough for all of us. We snuggled four into a booth, sticky tabletop and all. My aunt would call the sticky table a detractor; I'd call it the point. The staff was prompt and genuinely warm, not just to us but visibly to each other; someone had to step out mid-rush it was seamless enough you almost missed it. By the way, the Peak Organic blueberry beer sealed the deal for me. One of the most blueberry-forward cans of the whole trip. Find the side street. It's worth the turn.

Overall a good experience and I would be open to dining here again!

The broth was so tasty with large chunks of lobster. My husband's steak entree was so-so - it came out medium rare despite asking for medium. He didn't really like the potatoes on the side either. Since my husband doesn't eat fish, there weren't a ton of entrée options for him. We still really enjoyed our meal and had no room for dessert. The meal was on the pricier side since we also had a couple rounds of cocktails but it was worth it. We liked the atmosphere and being in the action at the bar.
